Widow testifies against husband's alleged killer

PLANT CITY (FOX 13) - Jurors were shown surveillance video Wednesday of an alleged robbery-gone-wrong, which left a wife without a husband.

Bonnie Beson never imagined a trip to the gas station would change her life forever. She and her husband, Michael Beson lived in Michigan but had a second home in Plant City.

Back in April of 2016, they stopped at a gas station to fill up. That's when they became the victims of a violent robbery, according to prosecutors.

Defendant Xavier Smith and his friend Al’Kwaun Dixon were apparently looking for someone to rob, according to investigators. Surveillance video from the gas station shows one of the men approach Michael Beson as he pumped gas.

Simultaneously, prosecutors say, Dixon goes to the passenger side of the car to rob Bonnie.
